It would seem that finally the DJI X5 / Inspire 1 combo has been totally overtaken with the Inspire 2 and Phantom 4 Pro DJI product launch. Whilst it would be nice to think that a future firmware update could give the camera extra functionality and resolution I doubt this will happen and that we are stuck with the 60mbs bit rate.
I've definitely benefited from buying the camera and it has produced far superior results to the X3 that came with my Inspire 1 but however carefully you set the camera up you still get blocky detail, both in video and stills mode. Usable but not brilliant especially when cutting between X5 clips and material shot on my C300 Mk2.
And hanging the X5 and the Olympus 12mm underneath the Inspire 1 definitely affects the agility and performance of the machine which was designed for the X3.
I'm looking at my upgrade options which are simply, the new Phantom 4 Pro or the Inspire 2 with the 2 lens options the X4S or X5S. They are all exciting options and will all provide far superior still and video images. I'll probably go for the Phantom 4 Pro as, having started off with a Phantom 2, I think I'd find the form factor more suitable for my work in the construction industry.
I'd be interesting to find out how other X5 owners have reacted to this latest product launch.
